Slime considers the VALVE to be a leak. Once that junk oozes out thru the valve it WILL plug the valve. You have been warned.

I throw away slime tubes when i extract them from a donated bike's tires.

i remove Tire liners, have never installed a single one.

Both add weight, cause out-of-balance, and make bikes feel heavy and sluggish, IMO.
